How to Whiten Teeth in Photoshop

Video Transcript

"Now we are going to learn how to whiten some teeth in Photoshop. As you can see I just went on google and grabbed a photo of a man who had quite yellow teeth. I have opened it up and I have zoomed in to his teeth so I can get nice and close, hold control and the plus sign on your keyboard to zoom in or the command and the plus sign if you are on a mac. So first what we are going to do is grab the pen tool and make sure it is on the pass selection up here the one in the middle is the one we want and we are going to draw around his teeth and I am doing this very quickly just to show you guys but you should really take your time drawing around his, whenever you use your drawing tool take your time and make sure you are getting it as precise as possible. We are almost there, there we go now hold down control, click, go to make selection and lay a one pixel feather radius on that and now we have a nice selection around our teeth. Now we are going to go up to image and there is plenty of ways to do this so don't take this as the only way you can whiten teeth, it is just the way I like to do it. We are going to get a channel mixer and click on one a chrome so I get it nice and black and white and pull out the constant a little bit and get a bit more white and do it up where we want it so I am going to go to curves and play with these a little bit. Hopefully just play around with it until you get the look you want and see now he has got nice clean pearly whites now."
